This was taken from a 1913 British Columbia magazine. Not all that cheap in its day. If you made 5.00 a day then a Ross would cost you 2800.00 in today's dollars.

I visited a couple guys I knew who'd recently lost their father when I was a teenager and as I already owned a Ross M10 303 I was incredibly impressed to find a Ross 280 sporter leaned up in the corner behind the door of the room I stayed in.

I had heard about the phenomenal accuracy of the Ross 280 from talk among my father's friends.

It had been their dad's and though I was tempted, I thought it was in poor taste to ask if I could buy it off them.

I ran into one of them about five years ago and asked about it.

"You know," he said. "I don't know what happened to that gun."

Quite some add but $70 then was big money, I bought a new pre 64 win for $59.95 in a general store in 60s. and my uncle picked up half box of dynamite to blast some stones off road to his cottage. man things have changed.
